Facial trauma due to gas explosion
Here's a case you don't get to see every day, extensive facial trauma due to gas explosion! Gas explosion is one of the most fearful accidents that happens due to a gas leak. People suffer from severe injuries that give even skilled surgeons some troubles. Notice that the patients tongue is severed, the lips and a part of the mandible along with some teeth are detached from place and are being held by the surgeon. Clamps were placed on different areas to stops the bleeding, and a tracheal tube was inserted in order to assist breathing. This patient is alive and underwent a series of reconstructive operations in order to bring both aesthetics and functionality as close as possible to normal.

Lucky to be alive!!!! Would like to see reconstruction!
I would rather meet my Lord than have to deal with all that pain and reconstruction. Poor man
This is why oral maxillofacial surgeons need their DDSs as well as their MDs.
